Product Information
Full details
The Visible Dust DUALPOWER-X is a professional-grade sensor cleaning kit designed for photographers who need a versatile solution for removing both oil-based and water-based stains from camera sensors. It is ideal for users who are unsure of the specific nature of the contaminants on their sensor and want a safe, streak-free cleaning method. A key caveat is that this kit requires careful handling; users must never mix the two liquids on the same swab and should exercise patience to ensure optimal evaporation for a pristine finish.

FAQs
Can I mix the two liquids together?
No. Never mix liquids on the same swab. Use VDust Plus and Smear Away separately, each with its own clean swab.
How many drops of liquid should I use?
Apply only a small amount of liquid to the edge of the swab. The swab should be damp, not saturated or dripping.
Is this safe for my camera's sensor coating?
Yes, the Green Vswabs are designed with a soft texture specifically to be safe for modern fluorine-coated sensors.
How do I know which liquid to use first?
Since you cannot determine the nature of the stain by eye, start with either one. If the stain is removed, stop there. If not, switch to the other liquid with a fresh swab.
Are the swabs reusable?
No, the swabs are intended for single use to ensure you do not re-introduce dust or oil back onto your sensor.
Troubleshooting
Streaking left on the sensor surface
You likely used too much liquid. Reduce the number of drops on the next swab and ensure you allow sufficient time for the remaining residue to evaporate.
Stain persists after one pass
Do not reuse the dirty side of the swab. Use a fresh swab and, if the first liquid did not work, try the alternative liquid to target a different type of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This kit is specifically designed for sensors requiring 1.3x sized swabs. Before starting, ensure your camera battery is fully charged, as a mid-cleaning power failure could cause the shutter to close on the swab, potentially damaging the sensor or shutter blades. Always clean in a well-lit, dust-free environment.
- Compatibility: Ensure your specific camera model requires a 1.3x/20mm sized sensor swab.
- Care: Store the liquids in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the swab packaging sealed until the exact moment of use to prevent dust accumulation on the cleaning head.
- Technique: Never apply liquid directly to the sensor; only apply it to the Vswab.
